Phantasmagoria (1995) Introduction in BEAR-O-VISION™ (MS-DOS) (4K)
Whenever I try to play this game it always devolves into a debate with the bear over if Adrienne is Lifetime movie material or not.
"Phantasmagoria," released in 1995, is a psychological horror point-and-click adventure game developed and published by Sierra On-Line. Designed by Roberta Williams, the game marked a departure from Sierra's traditional adventure games, incorporating live-action FMV (Full Motion Video) sequences to enhance the storytelling. Players follow the character of Adrienne Delaney, portrayed by Victoria Morsell, who, along with her husband, moves into a Victorian mansion with a dark history. As Adrienne explores the ominous estate, players unravel a gripping narrative involving supernatural occurrences and disturbing secrets. Known for its mature themes, intense atmosphere, and pioneering use of live-action video, "Phantasmagoria" garnered attention for pushing the boundaries of storytelling in video games, while also sparking debates around its graphic content and adult themes. Despite the controversies, it remains a noteworthy title in the horror genre, contributing to the evolution of interactive storytelling in gaming.
